Ain't No Mountain High Enough
We conquer them all. Don't mind enjoying your holidays hitting the slopes and shredding some powder on your ski's or snowboard? So do we!
As a student sports association we have a lot of different things to offer. Want to know what it means to be a member of Stoked Maastricht? Then read on!
As a sports association, we are of course centered around a sport. In Stoked we focus on extreme sports. As this consists of many different things, the range of sports we support is wide in variety and always expanding. Our main sports are snowboarding, skiing, surfing, and skateboarding. Also any sports related to these are incorporated, like wakeboarding, kitesurfing, windsurfing, longboarding etc.
Every Tuesday there is a workout organised just for STOKED at UM Sports, with the purpose to make our snowboarders and skiers fit for the slopes! These workouts range from throwing medicine balls against the wall, using weights and ropes, to boxing workouts.
We organise weekly skate lessons for all levels. They take place at JFK or De Griend depending on weather. You're also welcome to join to just hangout at the skatepark with us!
We organise lessons for beginners and introductory sessions to freestyle at the indoor slope in Landgraaf. This is the perfect opportunity to practice before our yearly snowtrips!
For all our members to use, we own Longboards, Skateboards, Ski's, Snowboards, Kites, a Slack Line, and more! All perfect for trying out new things! Bonus: We also have GoPros to record it all!
Stoked is about more than just sports. Next to boarding, we organize a wide variety of fun activities every week. Next to the more special events like game nights and dinners, you can find us in the city every Tuesday, hanging out in our favourite bars and having a great time together.
In addition to our normal weekly program, we also have bigger events from time to time. These include theme parties, gala's and a traditionally Dutch Cantus. All with our own twist of course!
As Stoked is a member driven association, we encourage everyone to bring in suggestions for trips and activities. This has resulted in Stoked going to festivals and events that we did not organize ourselves, such as Madness. Instead all interested members just got together and went there as a a big group.
Since the Netherlands does not have any mountains to conquer, we organize two Snowtrips every year. These multiple-day outings to places that do have snow and land above sea-level are considered to be the pinnacle of your Stoked year. Last year, we went to Risoul and Les 2 Alpes (France).
As Maastricht does not have a beach, surfers generally have a hard time practicing their sport. Therefore, we also go on at least two (Kite)Surftrip every year. Just like the Snowtrips, these are times a lot of members look forward to. Last year, we went to Fuerteventura and Moliets (France).
The extend of Stoked's travelling habits is not limited to these few weeks in the year. In addition, we sometimes take a day to visit a place closer by to do what we like most: boarding and having fun. This includes Scheveningen to (kite)surf and Maasmechelen to wakeboard.
To prevent our members from spending a fortune every time they want to hit the slopes, we made a deal with Snowworld Landgraaf. Stoked members (up to six at a time) get a huge discount and three of them even free gear!
Aloha surf school is one of our partners here in the Netherlands. Scheveningen is about 3 hours by train from Maastricht and offers a great opportunity to go for a day trip to get a good surf session in! Our deal includes a 20% discount on gear rental.
In one of the nicest surf areas Portugal has to offer, we have a deal with CHILL IN a surf school and hostel. You can either stay at the hostel, enjoy your free breakfast and go surfing on your own or book it with surf lessons included. Stoked members get a 15% discount on everything! Check out their website for more info.
Sports Council MUSST (Maastricht Universiteit Studenten Sport Stichting) is the coordinating body for all Student Sport Associations (SSAs) in Maastricht and is governed by students for students. The council aims to promote the practice of sports by students from Maastricht University & Zuyd Hogeschool.
Our members exist of all kinds of students studying in Maastricht. All with different names, ages, skill levels and backgrounds, but united by a common interest in the extreme sports and/or the community around it.
To help running the association we have seven crews that work year-round by organizing activities and more. We have the Activity crew, External crew, Party Crew, PR Crew, Skate Crew, Snow Crew and Surf Crew.
The Standard membership grants access to all Stoked has to offer. For a full year you can join all activities and trips we organize and make use of the deals and materials we offer.
This membership will cost 45 EUR per year and is automatically renewed every academic year. In addition, to join a student sports association you would need to have the UM Sports 'sports' membership.
The Half-year membership is basically the same as the Standard membership, except for the fact that instead of one full year, you will be a member for one semester only. Perfect for if you're going exchange for half a year!
This membership will cost 30 EUR for half a year and will afterwards automatically be turned into a Standard membership. You still need the UM Sports 'sports' membership, but only for the semester that you are a member of Stoked.
The Alumni membership is for people who are no longer a member of Stoked, but still want to support the association. With this membership you can still participate in some of the things we offer and you can continue be a part of our community.
This membership will only cost 10 EUR per year and is automatically renewed every academic year. For this membership you do not need any UM Sports membership to join.
Stoked takes in new members twice a year, at the beginning of every semester. As long as there is place, everyone is able to join. Find us during one of the many promotional activities Maastricht has to offer or send an email to secretary@stokedmaastricht.com.
Are you interested in Stoked, but want to experience it first? Send us an email and maybe we can work something out! Join us for a nice dinner plus night out or a chill session at the Stadspark.
Founded by two students who thought the student sport scene in Maastricht was missing something, Stoked started out as a big group of friends, but quickly grew to become one of the biggest student sports associations in Maastricht.
While at first only supporting Snowboarding, Skiing, Surfing and Skating, new sports are incorporated in our association as every member brings their own interests to the group. These additions include Wakeboarding, Kitesurfing, Windsurfing and more are sure to follow.
Now still, the association is getting bigger. With students from a wide variety of backgrounds participating in our activities and trips. All united by a shared love for extreme sports.
Stoked became like a second family to me. I love every single one of them!
